Over the past few years, she had witnessed firsthand how much hardship and pressure he had endured—things he had no choice but to bear. How could he now suffer further injustice in a place that rightfully belonged to him?
In the closed interrogation room, only Gan Tang's soft sobs could be heard.
Once Gan Tang calmed down, Meng Keqing said, "Sheng Ziyi said that he was the one who leaked the information to Lu Zhengqian. But that's not true, is it?"
Gan Tang nodded: "I leaked the information; it has nothing to do with him."
Meng Keqing asked a few more questions, then stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
"And him?" Gan Tang asked.
Meng Keqing did not answer. Even though he had done nothing wrong during his undercover work, he had disobeyed orders and fired a gun. It was impossible for him to get away unscathed.
Gan Tang thought that when she said she would take her home, she meant to see her to the gate, but she didn't expect her to drive straight to the car.
"Come up!" Meng Keqing reminded the stunned Gan Tang.
Gan Tang pointed to the sun, puzzled: "It's not time to get off work yet!"
“I’m off today. Someone was worried you were being bullied, so they specifically asked me to come and take care of you,” Meng Keqing said, then reminded her again, “Come on up quickly.”
Gan Tang got into the car and said "thank you".
Meng Keqing drove out the gate, saying, "They didn't even ask who it was, so it seems they know who it is."
Gan Tang smiled and gave her address.
Meng Keqing asked, "Is he really not as good as Sheng Ziyi?"
"I'm not good enough for him."
"What are you saying? Does that mean my junior brother is so bad?" Meng Keqing said unhappily, "He is the most outstanding graduate of our school."
Gan Tang was shocked: "You know him?"
No wonder Mo Huaixing wanted to avoid Meng Keqing when he saw her.
Meng Keqing laughed and said, "It's more than just knowing him. I even had Fang Heng help me make an appointment with him. You know what that means, right?"
Gan Tang felt a pang of sadness. "Then why are you so outstanding?"
"Back then, I was arrogant and proud. There were so many men who wanted to pursue me that the whole playground would be filled with them. How could I possibly make the first move?" Meng Ke said emotionally, "But my feelings for him only lasted for three short months."
"Why?"
Meng Keqing's thoughts drifted away: "Because of an exercise, an exercise that cost him his life."
"I know about that exercise, but why?" Gan Tang asked, puzzled.
"Because I'm not brave enough. Someone like him values everything more than his own life, so the one who suffers is destined to be the one who loves him the most. Therefore, I admire your courage."
Gan Tang murmured, "But he has never mistreated me."
The car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Meng Keqing looked at Gan Tang's pregnant belly and said, "I wish you happiness."
"Thank you!" Gan Tang unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
"Hey!" Meng Keqing called out to her, "Let me explain something to you. At the teacher's funeral, it was Fang Heng who asked me to invite him. He's not my boyfriend, at least not yet. It probably doesn't matter to you anymore; but it's very important to him."
Gan Tang looked at Meng Keqing and asked, "Keqing, will you marry him?"
"Who knows? We'll see," Meng Keqing said nonchalantly. "It's nothing important, not worth the trouble."
For her, the man she was to spend her life with wasn't even a big deal.
Gan Tang didn't ask any more questions and got out of the car to leave.
...
The investigation into Mo Huaixing is ongoing, during which Gan Tang returned home. She needed to explain things clearly to her mother regarding Mo Huaixing's case.
Before I even got home, I received a call from my mother.
"Tangtang, your father is saved, he's saved..." The mother was very excited on the phone, and could not speak clearly in a broken voice. After getting out of the car, Gantang rushed to the hospital.
As soon as Gan Tang entered the lobby, she heard the nurses and doctors chatting.
"Who is it that can invite such a skilled doctor?" The words were filled with shock and envy.
In the ward, a doctor in a white coat stood in front of the mother. He had probably finished examining the father and was explaining the surgery to the mother.
As he spoke, he exuded an innate confidence and professionalism, clearly indicating that he wasn't a doctor from their small town. The only drawback was his youth.
He looks to be in his early thirties.
"My daughter is here, please talk to her." When Gan's mother saw Gan Tang, she hurriedly pulled her in front of the doctor.
The young doctor patiently explained it to Gan Tang again. It was likely that her father's vegetative state was due to insufficient oxygen supply caused by brain damage, and that surgery offered a high chance of recovery.
Seeing the incredulous look on the young woman's face, the young doctor smiled and said, "This is the first time someone has questioned my medical skills like this."
"Please don't misunderstand," Gan Tang asked, voicing her doubts. "You shouldn't be a doctor here, so why are you here to treat my father?"
“I have a very good alumnus at Princeton. He once told me that he wanted to introduce his fiancée to me, but for some reason, I never met her.” The young doctor smiled as he said this. “But I have met her now. She really is as he described—beautiful, bold, and extraordinary.”
It turned out to be Chu Jiahe.
Just when she thought he would never forgive her, he was still quietly caring for her.
The surgery was scheduled for the third day. The hospital in this small town had very outdated medical equipment. The surgical instruments were imported from abroad, which was a hassle to transport.
Gan Tang asked him why he didn't let them have the surgery abroad. His answer was that someone had specifically told him that it was inconvenient for her to have the surgery while she was pregnant.
That man was always so considerate.
The surgery went smoothly. Less than two hours after the operation, her father, who had been in a coma for almost two years, opened his eyes, and Gan Tang burst into tears. On the third day after the surgery, her father was discharged from the hospital. The nightmare that had haunted her had finally vanished without a trace.
Despite her mother's objections, her father helped her in the kitchen, while Gan Tang sat obediently at the dining table, just like when she was a child. Looking at her busy parents, she felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Here it comes, make up for that bowl of noodles my daughter had when she got off the bus."
Father brought over noodles, and Mother brought over braised pork. The dining table was filled with long-lost laughter and joy.
The phone rang; it was Sheng Weide calling. Gan Tang went into the bedroom to answer it.
"Miss Gantang, could you come to Yunhai?" Sheng Weide didn't say why, and Gantang didn't ask any further questions, simply replying with a "yes".
Gan Tang returned to the dining table and looked at her father nervously: "Dad, there's something I want to tell you. The father of my child, his biological father, is the culprit who harmed you."
“Your mother told me everything.” Mr. Gan sighed and said, “Tangtang, no matter who he is, as long as he can save my daughter, I would be willing to die ten thousand times.”
"Thank you, Dad!"
